A Match Made in Austin: How Supermoon Brought NEAR Builders Together.

How NEAR HOUSE by Supermoon Became a Hit Among Builders: Podcasts, Roundtables, and Non-stop Collaboration.

NEAR HOUSE CONSENSUS has come again, leaving the NEAR community buzzing with excitement over this special “Stay Together, Build Together” experience brought forth by Supermoon. Supermoon united 20 builders and founders from all over the world for 5 days of building, networking, and collaborating. What was it about NEAR HOUSE by Supermoon that made it so special for the NEAR community?

Some people say that it was the NEAR Builders Breakfasts that got everyone energized and ready for the day. Others might highlight the interviews and podcasts with builders staying at the house, where guests shared their personal journeys and achievements while building on NEAR. And let’s not forget the special events like NEAR BBQ that brought together builders, NEAR core team, and Illia Polosukhin.

Supermoon’s co-founder, Elena Obukhova, always says “it’s all about people, not the place or the activities”. It wasn’t just the group activities that made NEAR HOUSE AUSTIN so memorable. It was the builders and the spirit of collaboration that led every aspect of this activation. For example, attendees had the opportunity to participate in a mini-hacking session with Keypom, and a roundtable discussion with NDC focusing on Near decentralized governance and how Near Digital Collective will work.

Amongst the special guests of the NEAR HOUSE were Near Social, Keypom, Near Korea, Near SF, Tenamint, AVM Finance, Orderly Network, and others.

The NEAR community had already heard about NEAR HOUSE ETH Denver as builders had an opportunity to participate in it. This time Supermoon went even bigger, organizing its production house “Supermoon Station” where guests, Near and the Supermoon community could come for a series of insightful podcasts, media activities, and networking events. It’s clear that NEAR HOUSE AUSTIN left a lasting impression on attendees and the wider NEAR community.

Supermoon is to announce upcoming NEAR HOUSE activities in other locations throughout the year aiming to bring more builders and founders to NEAR and facilitate innovation and the growth of the NEAR ecosystem.

Supermoon wants to express special gratitude to Near, Banyan Collective, and Cameron Dennis personally for supporting this and other community-focused initiatives that foster developments and collaboration in the Near ecosystem.
